"I was provided with a Dragons party kit for hosting a Dragons Party. All opinions are my own."
One of my favorite activities with the kids is movie night. Just me and them time to relax and have fun and curl up with a good movie. There are all sorts of ways to add flavor to your movie night and we're going to share one of them today. Let's talk about How to host a How to Train your Dragons 2 movie party. Boy that was a mouthful wasn't it. It's fairly simple. You can have a terrific movie night and something different than just curling up on the couch in 3 easy steps. Here have a look.

1. You need the movie. How to Train Your Dragons 2 is now available on Blu-Ray DVD and Digital DVD.

2. Games and Entertainment besides the movie. We colored a bit with How To Train Your Dragons 2 Printable Coloring Sheets and then we also played a fun game I call Where is Toothless. Basically I hid our Toothless figuring in various locations and the kids had to find him. A big hit with the party goers for sure. You might also like some of our fun dragons movie crafts.

3. Last you need Food of course.

For our party we began with dragon nuggets and goldfish.

Dragons Food

Dragons 2 Popcorn

As the night progressed we had fruit snacks, popcorn and cookies. (MOM TIP party cups make the perfect serving containers for kids popcorn. )

Then I sent everyone home with a cute Dragons 2 cupcake .

Dragons 2 Cupcakes

Mom Tip 2: to make our movie night cupcakes I used stickers, lolipop sticks and construction paper. Cut construction paper to the size of your sticker , lay your lolipop stick on top of the paper then secure it to the paper with a sticker. They are ready to be inserted into your cupcakes. Super easy and the kids LOVED them! To send them home I put them in clear plastic cups and then stuck that into a baggie. Easy Easy!
